• Nomura recently did the latest check of the game. The visual expression capability has improved from the trailer that was released last year.

• The game has a mix of real time and Visual Works pre-rendered CG. The ratio is 7 real time to 3 pre-rendered.

• The scene where Noctus and Stella meet for the first time has been made into a pre rendered scene. This is because it's an example of an area where adding player control would not have a big effect.

• Square Enix won't be holding an event ala last year's January press conference this year. However, Nomura said that he'd like to make some sort Versus related announcement/showing this year, although he can't say when or where.

• The next time we see Versus XIII, we will get a look at it being controlled on actual hardware.

Are you eagerly awaiting the next Versus instalment to Final Fantasy, video gamer?
